TJ, I so happy that you guys had fun…. I’m egyptian american and just to let you know there is millions of Egyptians following and enjoy watching your channel. Keep it up brother. Peace from texas.
Wonderful work. That replacement chassis is a work of art. Excellent idea to replace the entire suspension in one piece, rather than modifying and still having to live with some of the disadvantages of the original..
Felt that brodie. This is my third go round (second intentional). Ain't nothing like waking up mid full build video. 🤔💭 "Welp since I'm already here🤷🏾♂️🤓"
I am amazed at that young mans skills, and he stoops to the level of us backyarders to show us how we can do things with out high buck tools. He's also a pretty mellow down to earth man who would be pleasant to work with. If ya read this Tommy keep up the good work. We need more craftsmen in the field.
I believe that you were referring to the fact that all they needed were things like body saw's, air chisel's, a grinder and a welder to take care of whatever needed to be done to the car's body. All of which can be attained by the average person for relatively cheap without the need for "high buck fabrication tools". Even if people are crying about them using Matco brand stuff, you are still correct that they didn't need top quality brands as the same thing from harbor freight could accomplish the job just as well and it'd be far from using high end stuff
When I was at MIllington Tennessee for Aviation A school in 1973, there was no shortage of Challengers to be found. Always loved the look of these cars. Your restomod is absolutely gorgeous!!
Hi Airedale. I was in A school in 74 but not there. I was in Pensacola. My next stop was RVAH-12, NAS Key West. Became a PC on the Vigilante. What squadron did you go to?
I must be one of the really weird ones where I go to sleep by putting these videos on turning off the Monitor and then I wake up hearing this Southern dude's voice and it's the best morning ever I'm going to go hang some Christmas lights!
Well now, learning about sound deadening is neat. True story. Riding around in my Dad's 70 Challenger as a kid, you had to really speak up in order to have a conversation. In later life, when I had my 5.7 followed by my 392, the interiors were perfectly quiet. You could FEEL the engines, but if you wanted to HEAR them, you had to roll down the windows. I wondered how they accomplished this difference in my newer models. Now I know. Very cool!
Love the down to earth delivery, no hype, just factual content, Awsome access to new parts, love the modern chassis. Keep it up yous are informative with skills. Mopar all day.
I'm in my late 30s, this car, in original purple, has been my DREAM CAR since I was in middle school. I've always dreamed about rebuilding one from the ground up, and y'all just made a 20+ year fantasy come true.
Wish my dad was here to watch you guys he was a big Mopar from imperial to fury, I'm 61 I grew up on these cars thanks for the memories and rescue of a legend.
I have been binge watching this rebuild all day from the first one. No way I could do this. I lack the knowledge, the tools, the patience, and I guess the desire. Hats off to these guys. I would have run screaming from the garage long ago.
it seems like their builds always go SO smoothly lol. I feel like people in the real world deal with soooo many more issues but that is probably because these guys have a huge budget and all the tools possible.
You guys couldn't have found a better candidate! Now you guys can do whatever you want with this Challenger and never have any fear... All you guys did was add value and appeal, and went from lump of coal to a diamond! As always, you guys did an amazing job, and the finished car is awesome!
my brother's friend stops at home 5:45 am wintertime 1971 in Vancouver to pick us up to go skiing to whistler mt. bc. in his brand new 1970 dodge challenger 383 magnum , blk interior ,purple paint ,white stripe, hurst shifter...........wow great ride. looks like your build is awesome 😊
Yes great video and why?. Because you guys show and go thru all the problems and techniques you need to accomplish projects like this. So many others just whip thru their builds and make it all look too easy in the interest of video time. As a 25 year bodyman, I can appreciate your attention to the details. Nice job! And thanks
You guys did an awesome amazing full restoration, love the fact that it's a 3 hours video I got to see from start to finish the hole restoration and bringing back the classic to it's full glory you guys are the best, keep this videos coming great job I tip my hat to you 2.
I absolutely love watching your restoration videos-seeing those old cars brought back to life is amazing! It would be awesome if you could also highlight the Instagram accounts and social media pages of the talented people and companies you work with, like the guys from Blast from the Past, the upholstery team, and Prebuild Art. It would really enrich the audience's experience and also give some well-deserved promotion to the other experts involved in the process. Keep up the great work!
My Father had a 70 Challenger. I loved that car so much as a child, that when they started making them again I had to have one...which turned into two when I realized I "needed" to upgrade to the 392. When buying, I refused to even look at anything 2015 or newer, because in 2015 they switched over to the 1971 tail lights. That wasn't what was in my heart. My Dad's 70 was what was in my heart. The point is, I have a lot of history of loving this exact year model of this car. And I have to say, the changes you are making...don't piss me off. As you listed them, I was waiting to hear something that would make me cringe...but you didn't. You are keeping the car what it is, and for that, I salute you.
....aaaaand then...you changed out the whole chassis. If you mentioned that at the beginning, I missed it. ...nevermind --Don't get me wrong. You are still making a bad ass car. And I ain't mad at ya, because that Challenger was dead anyway. But what you are making aint gonna be a 70 Challenger. Haha...I'd still like to have it, though.
Definitely one of the most awesome full builds these guys have done. Bravo! I have to say though....this is Tommy's build, honestly. Joe's great and all but it looked like he did more unpacking boxes and fetching Tommy his tools than anything else.
Ole’ Tommy wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for Joe. Without him the, “Powernation” wouldn’t exist. You can see the quality of builds really drop off. Just compare this to the Buick that Ole’ Tommy build without the watchful experienced eye of Joe Elmore. Joe would have never let that Buick go out the door with the original auto column shifter still intact… IMO.
@@TheRealA-A-ron That's all great, Joe does seem to know his stuff. But that doesn't change the fact that Tommy did all the work. Joe did nothing but talk. I would have nothing against it if they didn't try to make it look like he did more than what he actually did. We all know he's probably too old to do any real work, or he may just be above it all. But it seemed to me like they went out of their way to make it seem like he was actually doing work. Which clearly, he didn't.
Admittedly I am not a gear head…only done minor work on my cars. But this show can be really fascinating to watch. Of course, I am a red blooded American so I love to see muscle cars take shape. It’s like watching a badass piece of art being put together. I may never do anything like this but I have mad respect for the skills it takes, not to mention the determination…
Hey Tommy, This was one of the best videos that you guys have put up to see. The most explanatory and visual video to date. Well done it is amazing to see such skilled work being done and a pleasure to watch. Thanks very much and well done.
Good job in the final product. An amazing amount of hacking due to custom frame but it made tuning the suspension possible, instead of impossible. Beautiful car.
I've seen alot of re-store shows, and this one was worth seeing ! The best one ever ! Taking me through all of the important parts and steps..! Thankyou for a radd episode !! 😳🤯👍🏻
About 30 seconds in we knew it would be a MOPAR, which is great. A MOPAR friend of mine told me one time that most of them were not very aerodynamic so they just beat the air into submission. I agreed because they had the power to do it.
At a shade under 3 hours long, I'm a little hesitant at beginning to watch something of this epic length. So I gave it 5 mins initial investment time to see how it felt and ended up watching all of it. No boring recaps which kept my attention intact throughout and little if any dumbing down, which is a great plus factor. The only negative point with the production value was the almost constant heavy rock music which was distracting and needless when I just wanted to hear the commentary. Great content and well presented. Little remained of the original car and a huge stack of money apparently thrown at building something new, with just the skin and rear seat springs of a Dodge Challenger. In no way was this a restoration or preservation, this truly is a Full Rebuild. 👍 Epic.
I know it’s been a year since this was uploaded but I really like that y’all are posting the full build videos, it makes it so much nicer to watch. At almost 3 hours long this is definitely my kinda movie lol. My only complaint with the finished project is I wish the ride stance was lower just like in the rendering.
I would have done all my panel replacements and the body painted before adding the new frame. That way the car is strengthened and that $20,000 investment won't have weld spatter, grinding dust, overspray etc. will not be falling on the new frame. Grinding dust will pit aluminum almost immediately.
I miss Mr. Elmore. 43 years old. Was my favorite thing to do back in the day, was to watch the powerblock. Was the replacement or graduation from Saturday morning looney toons❤😂
Very enjoyable vid of a great build. Couldn't help but chuckle at ya'll commenting on some people trying to turn the Sattelite into something they're not then commencing to modify, replace, upgrade or delete 80% of a base Challenger.😊 ENJOY
Wow, I was amazed at the stability of the car during G turns, incredible suspension/chassis! I ran several muscle cars in the day & without exception, suspension to HP was a deadly denominator.
WOW, awesome build and amazing talent from all you guys, 550 hp is all you need for a reliable and fast street car, that should bring you into the 12's no problem with some decent traction, far faster than stock thats for sure. Handling was awesome compared to an old beast with a elephant in the front. I am 65 now and had 3 1st generation Camaro's when i was in my 20's, one was a 67 Yenko clone so i sure appreciate the massive improvements you guys did compared to a 70 Challenger, more power and certainly better handling, braking, etc. Sometimes people who drive a new Challenger or Camaro dont realize the improvement from the 60's unless they are older like me and experienced a 427 in a 67 Camaro, improvement is a slow and natural progression and in those days the 1/4 mile was all that people were concerned about not autocross or great braking, again great job and enjoy seeing such talent!
You should watch graveyard cars. All they do is MOPAR, Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler muscle cars from the same era as this build. Beautiful cars, wish I could afford to have one built.
@@MikkaZKitka And if a monkey did build that Challenger and drove it on the track like that and it looked just as good, and shot the video and did the editing work and did voiceovers and actually went so far as to put it on a TH-cam channel. I would still compliment them because the result is wonderful. But these guys aren't monkeys and they did a great job. But maybe you can show us what you've got.
Great Video For One Of The Greatest 1970 Dodge Challenger Muscle Car The Best Car Of The 70’s Completely Rebuilt By Detroit Muscle The Great Team Of Guys
What you two guys need is some one liners, jokes, jabs and jibes to spice things up something like Tim Taylor's Tool Time. You'd make a great comedy duo and then you could become a legend. LOL I had a 1970 back in the day with a 440 six pack, plum crazy paint, Hearst pistol grip shifter and headers. When I see this I wish I still had it or at least another one but not a late model definitely a legacy Challenger.
How I wish had a car like this, or those you builds which are built to perfection. Dream car of almost every muscle heads or just someone who wants a car. Dang, so beautiful. I want one but don't have the money so just keep dreaming. 😂
I love muscle cars, but i have almost 0 mechanical aptitude. Even so, i am absolutely riveted to these videos. It almost feels like i understand what they're talking about because they do such a good job of explaining.
Wonderful rebuild! It turned out a gorgeous and powerful machine. The icing on the cake is that it does not have a lot of plastic like most cars today.
I’ll have to point out that the cymbals will make a different sound depending where you strike the cymbal. After adding the deafening fabric to the cymbal, he hit the top most part of the cymbal. Fabric or no fabric, striking that area will make a much different and quieter sound.
When my mom turned 18 she bought a 1969 Roadrunner with a 426 Hemi with dual 4bbl carbs, a Shaker hood, an A833 4 speed manual with a Hurst shifter, and it was kind of a root beer brown. She used to scare my uncles with it on the backroads here around Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. She said that it would pull the front wheels off the ground on the 1-2 shift. Her next car was a 1970 Mach One Mustang with a 351 Cleveland and a 4 speed manual. Man! I grew up in the wrong decade! My first cars were a 1978 Civic 1200 4 speed manual, a 1989 Chevy Beretta GT with alot of custom touches and a LOUD stereo, and a 1990 Ford Festiva with cold AC. Then, when I was 16, I bought a 1994 Eddie Bauer Explorer, swapped out the 4.0 V6 to a 302W, put an Eaton M90 Explorer Express supercharger on it, a 2.5" dual exhaust with custom made 58" DynoMax glasspacks, and 12" slant cut chrome tips. It was tuned through an EPROM ECU with a daughter board, but with a 6" SkyJacker lift, a set of 15" bullet hole chrome wheels, and 33x12.50" TSL Thornbirds it made 403 wheel horsepower at 12 lbs of boost through an 8.8" rear end with 3.83 gears. It was 2WD and it was a Florida truck (as that's where I lived at the time). It was alot of fun to drive in a straight line, but it was also really topheavy.
Brilliant job Guys. Incredible work and the sort of thing I'd love to do but a bit hard in a second floor flat... I could watch stuff like this all day and I lurve your accents.
Super carrossier !! Quel beau travail ...Un super atelier de restauration !!...Belle mécanique en prévision ...Beau travail technique ...Préparation moteur parfaite ...Résultat époustouflant !! Congratulations
I love this video, my dad was a transmission specialist, he worked on cars & trucks all his life. Mostly muscle cars ( Mopar ) dealing with 4 barrel carberators, his favorite engine was a 440. Learned a lot from him about Hemi, went to a lot of drag races & muscle car shows with him. Great memories! Thank you for sharing this video
What an exceptional well detailed and so meticulous in every aspect of this build, I had a 70 Cuda a real BS23 the body work, that I paid for was done horribly and the car never drove straight. These details and amounts of patience and planning it took was above and beyond anything I’ve seen, I wish these guys did my restoration I would have been a much happier customer and it would be a well sorted beast! Really great video Thank you very informative and helpful on how to do the next project!
Do you have the abilities and a place to do so???? Absolutely,,, have it done? By a hack ripoff artist, also yes, any GOOD body shop,, huge maybe, probably closer 120-150k,,, then you got the shops like graveyard cars in Springfield Oregon and nicks garage in Toronto and those that would compare themselves to them and you're looking at 250k plus
I do a lot of restos & watched this video. Doing great work. Only thing i do different than you guys is I use weld through primer on all bare areas that have lap metal in top of the bare metal. I dress all welds, regardless & spray weld through primer over them. I don’t leave any hidden bare metal to attract moisture after the car is completed. I think just about every Challenger I’ve seen & worked on, have extensive rust in the A pillar, drip rail & roof at the mating of those panels. Keep up the great work!
The Challenger is coming out beyond beautiful and awesome.........and I'm a great fan of the crazy purple color. By the way, I keep seeing a '49 or '50 Ford sitting in the shop.......that was my first car, a 1950 Ford; and you always love your first car and your first girlfriend. That said......hope you put up a total upload on the '50!!! Tom
RIP Joe Elmore
Of all the hosts on the power block shows over the years, you were my favorite
My other dad
😪
Who's Joe Elmore?
@@ddraigdraco3743 did you watch the video?
TJ, I so happy that you guys had fun…. I’m egyptian american and just to let you know there is millions of Egyptians following and enjoy watching your channel. Keep it up brother. Peace from texas.
All car, no piss-poor drama acting. This is top of the line entertainment
Wonderful work. That replacement chassis is a work of art. Excellent idea to replace the entire suspension in one piece, rather than modifying and still having to live with some of the disadvantages of the original..
This is my favorite build with two of my favorite host. Reminds me of Stacey building copperhead. Good times in CARtoons on saturdays
Stacey has a few full build videos like this on his channel as well. The knucklebuster pickup, the rat roadster, and the monster miata.
Who needs a 2-hour movie when you can watch a satisfying 3-hour restomod? Keep'em coming!
Absolutely!

I jus watched this whole thing w out stoppin like it was a movie 😂 I Love the finished product
I'm same what an incredible finished product I love it 😀 😍 ❤
Felt that brodie. This is my third go round (second intentional). Ain't nothing like waking up mid full build video. 🤔💭 "Welp since I'm already here🤷🏾♂️🤓"
I did the same thing with the Street Regal video
I do that all the time 🦾🦾🦾🦾🦾
Mm
I've been hooked since Joe Elmore and Stacey David started, "Trucks". Now I have Power Nation on my TV.
For me, this is the most beautiful muscle car ever made!!!
I love challenger!!!
I'm torn between Challenger and Charger with its coke bottle shape.
Either way Dodge/Plymouth made the best muscle cars of all time! ❤️
its not
MIne too, the favorite car ever. But is not so authentic with that modern low profile tires
RIP Joe Elmore
I am amazed at that young mans skills, and he stoops to the level of us backyarders to show us how we can do things with out high buck tools. He's also a pretty mellow down to earth man who would be pleasant to work with. If ya read this Tommy keep up the good work. We need more craftsmen in the field.
What exactly are you on? "Without high buck tools"? Everything he uses is high buck. Must be some top of the line fentanyl.
In what world is Matco not high dollar?
I believe that you were referring to the fact that all they needed were things like body saw's, air chisel's, a grinder and a welder to take care of whatever needed to be done to the car's body.

One of the best cars ever produced during the muscle mopar era of the US. Wonderful car indeed.
@Leo Coffy Awesome brother Mopar No Car. My dad has a 2019 Charger RT Scat Pack with the 392 Hemi V8 and man its a beast.
@Leo Coffy Downhill 0-60 maybe? The person who rented that must've thought they were really funny.

Awsome access to new parts, love the modern chassis.

Mopar all day.
it shouldn't have been a modern chassis . it should have been a classic one for the feel.

it seems like their builds always go SO smoothly lol. I feel like people in the real world deal with soooo many more issues but that is probably because these guys have a huge budget and all the tools possible.
The tools make all the difference in the world.Most guys have a box of wrenches,a vice grip, and a hammer. Lol
Plus they get paid to spend 40+ hours a week working on it
You know everything will go smoothly, they're on camera😂
tools, organization, space

Old Challenger is better. But back day that was a hard choise among them. The modern Challenger is the most true muscle car by far
I miss the days and time of watching these on tv on the weekends.
hey Dylan McCool worked on the satellite(2:42) in 2018, was left exactly where he last got it running. Gotta love an old Mopar!
dude i immediately realised it, that thing runs like a dream.
BEAUTIFUL car! Excellent job guys! Those rear wheels are more along the lines of what I expected to see on the Chevelle. Much better suited to 993 hp
Used to watch Trucks and Horsepower with my dad when I was a kid. Glad they're all here.
I like these shows no drama no yelling no bullshit you actually show the full restoration .

Boy Tommy, you never get bored working with the same guy every day. I watch you working with a different person in many episodes
Tommy is the GOAT! Is it just me or does he pretty much do all of the work on all the builds.
I love the idea of doing this but watching all the time ,work, skill, pure talent and all out make-it-yourself-ness needed shows me I can't do it.
Incredible upload, so great to watch - no shortcuts taken , everything done right - captivating !

These old Challengers hold a special place in my heart. My dad had a 72. Been my dream car ever since. Very beautiful car guys, well done.
It needs lots of love and patience to restore , simply you become a peaceful man.❤️❤️❤️ Thanks for your efforts.

My thoughts too. But I think the modern suspension married to an older car makes it ride that way.
you can probably just spin the collars on the coilovers a bit to lower it
I would have done all my panel replacements and the body painted before adding the new frame. That way the car is strengthened and that $20,000 investment won't have weld spatter, grinding dust, overspray etc. will not be falling on the new frame. Grinding dust will pit aluminum almost immediately.
This the best detailed car restoration I've ever watch. 🥰🥰
I miss Mr. Elmore. 43 years old. Was my favorite thing to do back in the day, was to watch the powerblock. Was the replacement or graduation from Saturday morning looney toons❤😂
Very enjoyable vid of a great build.
Couldn't help but chuckle at ya'll commenting on some people trying to turn the Sattelite into something they're not then commencing to modify, replace, upgrade or delete 80% of a base Challenger.😊
ENJOY
Wow, I was amazed at the stability of the car during G turns, incredible suspension/chassis! I ran several muscle cars in the day & without exception, suspension to HP was a deadly denominator.
WOW, awesome build and amazing talent from all you guys, 550 hp is all you need for a reliable and fast street car, that should bring you into the 12's no problem with some decent traction, far faster than stock thats for sure. Handling was awesome compared to an old beast with a elephant in the front.
I am 65 now and had 3 1st generation Camaro's when i was in my 20's, one was a 67 Yenko clone so i sure appreciate the massive improvements you guys did compared to a 70 Challenger, more power and certainly better handling, braking, etc. Sometimes people who drive a new Challenger or Camaro dont realize the improvement from the 60's unless they are older like me and experienced a 427 in a 67 Camaro, improvement is a slow and natural progression and in those days the 1/4 mile was all that people were concerned about not autocross or great braking, again great job and enjoy seeing such talent!

You should watch graveyard cars. All they do is MOPAR, Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler muscle cars from the same era as this build. Beautiful cars, wish I could afford to have one built.
Wow! Watching that big car handle that way on the track is amazing. You guys did a great job on the car.
what car? What job? They built a new car from new parts. A monkey can put it together.
@@MikkaZKitka And if a monkey did build that Challenger and drove it on the track like that and it looked just as good, and shot the video and did the editing work and did voiceovers and actually went so far as to put it on a TH-cam channel. I would still compliment them because the result is wonderful.
But these guys aren't monkeys and they did a great job.
But maybe you can show us what you've got.
This type of work is a hell of an undertaking .. all that work and had the ultimate cheat code of having every tool you can ask for..

I was just thinking about it and realized that I've been watching joe on powerblock since I was 14 and I'll be 40 in a couple of years.
yeah i used to watch it back in the day when it was on Spike TV same with trucks and offroad 4x4
how about when it was hot rod tv and then horsepower tv....
What you two guys need is some one liners, jokes, jabs and jibes to spice things up something like Tim Taylor's Tool Time. You'd make a great comedy duo and then you could become a legend. LOL
I had a 1970 back in the day with a 440 six pack, plum crazy paint, Hearst pistol grip shifter and headers. When I see this I wish I still had it or at least another one but not a late model definitely a legacy Challenger.
Every time I hear that man's voice it takes me back to my childhood with my dad on Saturdays watching the horsepower hour
i love old moparrs, so thanks for rebuilding this car, it looks great. beautiful job!!
please keep making videos like these i absolutely love em and watch every minute

How I wish had a car like this, or those you builds which are built to perfection. Dream car of almost every muscle heads or just someone who wants a car. Dang, so beautiful. I want one but don't have the money so just keep dreaming. 😂
I love muscle cars, but i have almost 0 mechanical aptitude. Even so, i am absolutely riveted to these videos. It almost feels like i understand what they're talking about because they do such a good job of explaining.
Brian Finch is a wizard. I am astounded at the improvements in the course times after his adjustments.
Wonderful rebuild! It turned out a gorgeous and powerful machine. The icing on the cake is that it does not have a lot of plastic like most cars today.

I’ll have to point out that the cymbals will make a different sound depending where you strike the cymbal. After adding the deafening fabric to the cymbal, he hit the top most part of the cymbal. Fabric or no fabric, striking that area will make a much different and quieter sound.
Very well done! You're all professionals and it shows. Thanks for a very informative production.

This looks very supporting about long time ago.... Thanks for all restored
When my mom turned 18 she bought a 1969 Roadrunner with a 426 Hemi with dual 4bbl carbs, a Shaker hood, an A833 4 speed manual with a Hurst shifter, and it was kind of a root beer brown. She used to scare my uncles with it on the backroads here around Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. She said that it would pull the front wheels off the ground on the 1-2 shift. Her next car was a 1970 Mach One Mustang with a 351 Cleveland and a 4 speed manual. Man! I grew up in the wrong decade! My first cars were a 1978 Civic 1200 4 speed manual, a 1989 Chevy Beretta GT with alot of custom touches and a LOUD stereo, and a 1990 Ford Festiva with cold AC. Then, when I was 16, I bought a 1994 Eddie Bauer Explorer, swapped out the 4.0 V6 to a 302W, put an Eaton M90 Explorer Express supercharger on it, a 2.5" dual exhaust with custom made 58" DynoMax glasspacks, and 12" slant cut chrome tips. It was tuned through an EPROM ECU with a daughter board, but with a 6" SkyJacker lift, a set of 15" bullet hole chrome wheels, and 33x12.50" TSL Thornbirds it made 403 wheel horsepower at 12 lbs of boost through an 8.8" rear end with 3.83 gears. It was 2WD and it was a Florida truck (as that's where I lived at the time). It was alot of fun to drive in a straight line, but it was also really topheavy.
Brilliant job Guys. Incredible work and the sort of thing I'd love to do but a bit hard in a second floor flat... I could watch stuff like this all day and I lurve your accents.

2:50 that’s the 70 Satellite that was on Junkyard Digs channel.
Wow, never expected that
I saw that and wondered if anyone else caught it. JYD and VGG are my favorites.
@@robm9772 Derek is amazing! VGG is the best channel on youtube right now imho.
Thought it was by the door
@@alexmouland7479 also the Plymouth decal on the side being a petty blue car.
Finally!! This is my dream car! Hope it gets a hopped up 440!
Hard to believe that cars 53 years old now and still one if not the most beautiful rides that they ever produced
All 3 hours nonstop was amazing
Wonderful job and a lot of things learned from the process of restoration.
I miss Joe Elmore sooooo much these episodes plus engine power always makes it magical for me...

Best builds are the ones which go from rusted and half missing, to modded and beautiful.
Super carrossier !! Quel beau travail ...Un super atelier de restauration !!...Belle mécanique en prévision ...Beau travail technique ...Préparation moteur parfaite ...Résultat époustouflant !! Congratulations
I love this video, my dad was a transmission specialist, he worked on cars & trucks all his life. Mostly muscle cars ( Mopar ) dealing with 4 barrel carberators, his favorite engine was a 440. Learned a lot from him about Hemi, went to a lot of drag races & muscle car shows with him. Great memories! Thank you for sharing this video
Michigan is a great place to be from. I think it's cute how my family says I talk like y'all now
What a project, man you guys have the patience of saints. Thanks so much for the super enjoyable entertainment! : )

I used to watch Joe on the POWER BLOCK of shows on TNN every weekend instead of Saturday morning cartoons.
Yes sir those were the good old days used to watch this and the 3 stooges for real lol. Can't beat the classics
Yea man I did as well bill dance fishing would come on TNN also back when TV was TV now we have a bunch of bs
Damn, me too, it was a tough decision though.
the amount of time ,skill and money to pull all this off has got to be astronomical... basically built a new car from scratch
What an exceptional well detailed and so meticulous in every aspect of this build, I had a 70 Cuda a real BS23 the body work, that I paid for was done horribly and the car never drove straight. These details and amounts of patience and planning it took was above and beyond anything I’ve seen, I wish these guys did my restoration I would have been a much happier customer and it would be a well sorted beast!
Really great video Thank you very informative and helpful on how to do the next project!
Thanks guys for all the video's. Man I really like the wheels from the drawing and would have loved to see them on the car.

The video was awesome, I wonder can a 100K get me a 68 Charger R/T built from Scratch along with a really good sound system added to it

@@azliabubakar1762 what does that mean
Depends on what condition the charger was in before hand and if you want to use it for racing or just want to keep it numbers stock
Barely and maybe numbers matching hemi I doubt it.
Do you have the abilities and a place to do so???? Absolutely,,, have it done? By a hack ripoff artist, also yes, any GOOD body shop,, huge maybe, probably closer 120-150k,,, then you got the shops like graveyard cars in Springfield Oregon and nicks garage in Toronto and those that would compare themselves to them and you're looking at 250k plus
I do a lot of restos & watched this video. Doing great work. Only thing i do different than you guys is I use weld through primer on all bare areas that have lap metal in top of the bare metal. I dress all welds, regardless & spray weld through primer over them. I don’t leave any hidden bare metal to attract moisture after the car is completed.
I think just about every Challenger I’ve seen & worked on, have extensive rust in the A pillar, drip rail & roof at the mating of those panels. Keep up the great work!
The Challenger is coming out beyond beautiful and awesome.........and I'm a great fan of the crazy purple color. By the way, I keep seeing a '49 or '50 Ford sitting in the shop.......that was my first car, a 1950 Ford; and you always love your first car and your first girlfriend. That said......hope you put up a total upload on the '50!!! Tom
That rebuild was so interesting and amazing thank you for sharing with us.
